The Career Playbook Book Review

            I will be reviewing The Career Playbook by James M. Citrin. I bought the Kindle edition, which is around $7.47. You can uy the paperback version from Amazon for $7.86. Barnes & Noble is selling it for 7.86 too. It is also available as an audible book, for those of who don’t like to read, and they are selling it for $14.95.

            The book contains 258 pages and is a quick and easy read.  It’s a nice little book providing enough practical information without getting too overwhelming.  This book provides essential advice for those of us who are transitioning from academia to the professional workforce. Although much of the advice presented in this book is pretty much common sense, he does provide some helpful tidbits of information that seem useful.

            At the start of the book, Citrin describes the six phases of your career, which I found to be the most interesting part of the book. He gives examples and tips for writing a resume and a cover letter. Also, there is a whole chapter devoted to how to prepare for an interview. I find it hard to develop questions to ask employers when they ask me if I have any questions and the author provides example questions to ask and how to gather information and ideas for these questions.

Not only does he provide tips and helpful information to attain a job, but how to further develop your career as you move along. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a recent graduated from college and is conducting their job search.

Next, I will provide a review for The Get it Together Guide to Figuring out What to do with Your Life, which I will post sometime next week. Please subscribe and share!
